JP Box Art

2017 lately has been dubbed as the year of otome for Western fans (apparently referred to as otome armada? lol), and now that's even more so. ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ Two more otomes were announced for localization this month: Hakuoki and Hyakka!

Tiger & Bunny: Hero's Day - Kotetsu T. Kaburagi Route Summary & Review

.....I'm a huge Tiger & Bunny fan. This was bound to happen. XD (I think I'm the only one who plays this game guys //slapped)  Besides being a fan, I don't see much of this game out there, especially when the anime exploded everywhere when it came out. (Then again, maybe it's because people just don't bother to look for games after seeing an anime or because there aren't any translations GAH, YOU'RE RAMBLING, STAWP). So I thought, why not? ヾ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

Alright. So Tiger & Bunny Hero's Day is a visual novel game made by D3 Publisher. In this game, there won't be any silly Hero fights or awkward camera angles like in the first game. Instead, you'll get to live the daily life of each of our TnB characters! ヾ(*´∇`)ﾉ

Now, when you first start the game your only 2 character options are Kotetsu and Barnaby. As you progress further, you'll eventually unlock more characters, but you won't be able to actually play them until you complete Barnaby's or Kotetsu's. Also, let's say you start with Barnaby. You can't plow through all of Barnaby's route without stopping midway through and backtrack to Kotetsu to let his story catch up.

Another cute little side feature is that you can select who'll speak and things haha.This game is also split into "times", which makes sense since you're following 1 day of a Hero.

Ahhh, this game is such a relief to my poor brain. Unlike otome games, everyone speaks, so now I don't have to stare at silent Heroine 500-stroke kanji going (;¬_¬) ... (╯°Д°）╯︵ ┻━━┻ wondering what the flippity-floo she's saying and squinting my eyes trying to read the tiny font in the first place.
(I'm still learning ~(ouo)~ )

**Important: You'll have to go back and choose the other option for a lot of choices so that you can rack up points. Otherwise, you'll just keep getting a bad end towards the end of the game no matter what you choose. I ended Kotetsu's route with 78,110 points (of course there's many options I still missed, but I had enough to pass the game). But running straight through without going back racks up only 32,015. Biiiig difference haha.**

I haven't played this in a while, so I don't exactly remember everything. But regardless, let's begin!
